''It is not a question of making objections it is you being explained the reality of your own world view.''
The reality of my world view is that I do not pretend to have the answers to the big questions such as the ultimate origin of the universe.....the reality of religion is that they each teach their own explanations for how the universe came about by special creation by a Supernatural Being, for which there is not a bit of evidence, to support, and worse, each religion contradicts the other, hence they cannot be true.
That, RM, is the reality of the world view of the theist.
''do you believe that theses evolutionary processes that have resulted over time building up the complexity of the human species and all these chemical reaction sloshing away in our brains actually has any true value?''
That is precisely what the fossil record shows, precisely what the molecular record shows, precisely what the genetic record shows...with nothing to support the contrary, that human life is a special creation wafted into being by a Magical Man who lives in the sky, or on Mt Olympus, or Allah or Yahweh or Brahma, etc, etc.
That is the reality, RM.

The Evidence for
Evolution Concept Outline
21.1 Fossil evidence indicates that evolution has occurred. The Fossil Record.
When fossils are arranged in the order of their age, a continual series of change is seen, new changes being added at each stage.
The Evolution of Horses.
The record of horse evolution
is particularly well-documented and instructive.
21.2 Natural selection can produce evolutionary
change. The Beaks of Darwin’s Finches.
Natural selection favors stouter bills in dry years, when large tough-to-crush
seeds are the only food available to finches.
Peppered Moths and Industrial Melanism.
Natural
selection favors dark-colored moths in areas of heavy
pollution, while light-colored moths survive better in
unpolluted areas.
Artificial Selection.
Artificial selection practiced in laboratory studies, agriculture, and domestication
demonstrate that selection can produce substantial evolutionary change.
21.3 Evidence for evolution can be found in other
fields of biology. The Anatomical Record.
When anatomical features of living animals are examined, evidence of shared ancestry is often apparent.
The Molecular Record.
When gene or protein sequences from organisms are arranged, species thought to be closely related based on fossil evidence are seen to be
more similar than species thought to be distantly related. Convergent and Divergent Evolution.
Evolution favors similar forms under similar circumstances.
